I think I found what I am going to buy next...

Shift easy. That plastic lever on the top will snap off in a hurry. I've actually used one of these on a small baja car when I was in school. The shift lever failed in competition and we were f'd.

I will be using a engine/tranny from a 2wd 4wheeler, it had IRS so i will be just turning it sideways and the tranny will be like a tranny/tcase. going to have the drive shafts go where the CV's went.

 

[DirtyD803]

Well... come this sat i will be heading down to Jacksonville FL and getting a lot of work done to the golf cart, the frame will be all welded up, the body will be on there, and the engine mounts should be built.

 

[boatedwagon]

96 ci s&s ?!? maybe turned sideways to an atv transfercase?

 

[DirtyD803]

Back from FL, golf cart frame is about 95% done. got the engine mounts on there also. also picked up to more tires for it. Pics will be tomorrow .

 

[DirtyD803]

Here are some pics of the frame. I still need to finish up the floor section and also add the front hoop that will hold the front of the body on.

Motor Mounts

My other two tires I picked up

 

[DirtyD803]

I still have to trim the rear but this should be close to the ride height, it might be a inch or so taller when done. remember these tires are 31x15

and the body bolts onto the frame. I only have 1 bolt on each side for right now, but when its done it will have 2 on each side.

 

[DirtyD803]

Got the engine installed, hooked up the wiring harness (PITA), looks like i will have to do some work to the harness to get everything to fit like i want it. then I just set in the golf cart making vvvvvvvvvvvvvvoooooooooooooommmmmmmmmm sounds for the rest of the night. what fun.

 

[DirtyD803]

Kinda of a rough idea of what the front will look like.

And the engine in its new home.

 

[DirtyD803]

I have a question. Do yall think changing out the gear in the axles will help when it comes to the power? I just want to make sure i help out that 280CC as much as i can. and if so, which ones should i go with. the 4.57 or 5.38 ?

 

[DirtyD803]

Ive had a few ppl tell me that the coil overs i have will be to soft for this. so i was thinking if they sag to much, then i am thinking about getting a set of Monroe air shocks to replace them with... any thoughts on that?

 

[DirtyD803]

If they are to soft i think i might have found the fix.

[DirtyD803]

well the project is on hold for right now.. some one put sugar in my wife's gas tank so i got to get that fixed.

 

[DirtyD803]

for the rear, I think i am going to just run ladder bars instead of a 3 link.

 

[DirtyD803]

Pics from today

a rough idea of how my coil overs will be placed.

I had to do this to keep me happy.. lol

idk if i posted this or not, but here is the engine.

the drive shaft is going to hate me...

a idea of how it will look (this is the cv axle from the 4wheeler)

and this is how far back i will putting the rear axle.

 

[DirtyD803]

oh btw, my plan for the coil-overs for the rear is to mount them on the side of the frame instead of doing a tower time of mount. I am thinking about using these for the frame mounts. http://www.ballisticfabrication.com/HD-90-degree-tabs_p_1643.html

 

[DirtyD803]

Here is a idea for a drive shaft I have in my head, its a 2 part drive shaft. with the first part being the CV axle from the 4wheeler, then some type of adapter plate with a shorten zuk axle.

I was also throwing around the idea of using the hub with the brakes from the 4wheeler so i could have some type of brakes, its that or doing a pinion brake. eather way i will be using a hub to keep the 4wheeler cv axle in place so when i flex it wont pull it out of the tranny.

I will be cutting where the red line is so it doesnt get hung up.

some more pics to give ya the idea.

 

[DirtyD803]

nothing new to post.. but.. i talked to Ballistic Fabrication , they said my parts will be shipping today. but my order over at Northern Tools ( Thats where I got my links at ) still says "Pending"... Can't wait for these parts to get in so she can sit on her own weight... well.. i still need to get one more rim for it... but at less the back will be sitting on its own weight soon.

 

[lockedup5]

Ballistic Fab!!!oh no!! If your interested in what I'm talking about go on over to Pirate and do a little research on them. YOu'll be lucky to get your parts.

 

[DirtyD803]

well my parts al'ready shipped, i haven't had any problems with them yet *knock on wood* but this is only the 2nd time ive ordered from them

 

[DirtyD803]

Here is the front, just got to install the coil-overs.

And the rear, the coil's are the front's from a Sidekick

 

[DirtyD803]

Also the bottom of my frame is about 28" from the ground

 

[ChrisAyers]

Those links look good, might of missed it but what materials did you use for them?

 

[DirtyD803]

PTO Tracker links, I know there not idea for off road, but this being a "golf cart" I don't see them being much of a problem.
